Elearning part 2 reg.2

What would happen if the freezing point of water became 10 degrees C?

Just imagine.
If you were living in a country where there are four seasons.
Winter is here! its below 10 degrees and its time to go out and build a snowman!
But, you got thristy. so you brought a cup of water outside.
And before you could even drink it, it froze!

So if this really happened,
People in Korea, China, New york, Italy etc.
They wont be able to drink any water outside during winter.

What if, that cold country happens to have waterfalls.
Beautiful frozen or unfrozen right?

But what happens to the fishes? or any wildlife that lives in the waterfall?
Technically, If the fish was even used to the winter time,
they would probably find it normal if the water was at 10 degrees.
But what if it was at 10 degrees and all the water got frozen.
All the wildlife in that waterfall would die.
You can't expect them to swim away in ice right?

What if all the rain became ice once it reached the ground?

On the plus side, It does make that spot look like a winter wonderland.
I would like to see how you sit on it!

The same thing goes for this frozen boat.

100% beautiful.
but how are you going to set sail?
If this was a fisherman's boat, He would have to miss one day of catching fish.
But then again, all the water would be frozen.
So there would be no reason for him to fish for fish popsicles.

What if a tidal wave got frozen?

It does make a good tourist attraction.
But what if there was a sudden drastic change of temperature?
The ice would melt and flood the area with freezing cold water.
What if the innocent tourist just wanted to take a picture and did not know how to swim?
Forget it, I doubt the drastic change of temperture would be that drastic.

And how would the farmers water their crops during winter?


As you can see, the freezing point of water can really affect our lives.
Although Singapore would not get affected if this really happened,
I'm glad it did'nt.
Because I love the fact that the freezing point of water is zero (:

Have you all ever heard of the saying
"freeze your butt off?"

2. Is there an age dependent factor?

3. Are there any cultural differences?

4. Does the effect go past humans? Do dogs or cats demonstrate asymmetric facial expression?

5. Is there a left -right handed effect? Or, does the left side always show a more pronounced
effect.

E Learning Part 2

This creature has webbed feet so i think this freak might be living in a wetland area or the swamp. It has a long tongue which i think that it is use to eat flying insects. I think this creature has got a good sense of hearing. I do not think that it can swim as it has a furry body which will make the creature heavy to be in water. The spikes at the back of the body is use to protect itself from other predator. It is as similar as a hedgehog. Amin (30)

E-learning assignment Part 2 (reg 11).

What would be the effect if a spaceship landed, and the aliens in it estimate that they are 400 years ahead of us? What would happen if they offered us all their scientific knowledge? Would it be good or bad? Why?

I think it is good that the aliens are willing to offer all their scientific knowledge to us as their knowledge can be put to good use and better improve our surroundings. Maybe we could invent a rocket or a spaceship just to go to their planet (if they even exist at all). Who knows?

Of course there are advantages of their knowledge. For example, through their knowledge, we can discover more medicine and cures for diseases like cancer. Even with this modern technology, scientists are still unable to cure cancer at the 4th or 5th stage. With that, Singapore would be so advanced that even the other countries with good technology and high speed will be green with envy. The aliens may also be able to provide solutions to our problems with their big brains.

However, every pros has its cons. There are some scientists out there who will get greedy for attention. Due to that, they will invent things that can be harmful to the evnvironment. Say, nuclear rifles. They will abuse the knowledge that they have to create such things just to fulfill their greed. It's not worth it if they are going to end Earth's life like this.

Since there are more advantages, I think that it's good that the aliens are willing to share their knowledge with us, so that we can change for the better, not for the worse.
